The emperor knows the inside story and naturally sees it thoroughly, because he knows everything clearly, and he has long been unfazed by these things in his heart, so when he talks about these things now, it is like talking about ordinary things, without the slightest emotion, and he seems extremely calm.

"If it weren't for the fact that Linlang wasn't his own child, Prince Hui wouldn't have opened his mouth to ask me for marriage anyway, even if he opened his mouth, I would never have agreed, and if it was unusual, how could I allow him?"

"Even the courtiers will not tolerate it, this is an act of violating the norm, how can he, as the prime minister of a country, take the lead in transgressing the rules? He is very clear about this, so he chose to take a daughter under his knees.

Besides, he only had a son and no daughter, so although this move had other intentions, it didn't seem abrupt. ”

Judging from this incident, Prince Hui is not dead, but has just changed his strategy. He is a person, I know very well, he will not go all the way to the dark, but he will not give up easily, and it is his style to leave a few more backs. ”

"For letting Linlang marry into the palace, in fact, he had regretted it several times in the middle, but later let Linlang enter the palace and became the crown princess, which shows that he took this move after several considerations, it should be more secure like this, but he must have other tricks that he didn't use. ”

It was only because of the civil strife that had fallen short on the previous occasions that he had become more cautious and cautious, like a frightened bird, that he would not take any risky action until he had to, or when he thought it was foolproof. ”

Because of this, it is all the more necessary to guard against him, because if he does not move, it is enough, and a move should be a blow with all his strength. ”

"Just in case, I will send you a message now, that if there is any change in him or anyone with bad intentions, you can serve the prince as if he were me, and you must help the prince ascend to the throne smoothly, and you must not let the power go by. ”

"Yes, the slave obeys the emperor's orders. Listening to the emperor's tone, the purple-robed man knew that the heavy responsibility was on his shoulders, and there was nothing to do, so he solemnly accepted the emperor's order.

It's just that he also has doubts, the emperor kept asking him to assist the prince, but Heyan was deposed, and now there is no prince, is the emperor going to set up a new prince soon?

This is to be understood, misunderstanding or misunderstanding is not a joke.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "The slave is bold, now that the position of the crown prince is vacant, does the emperor already have a new candidate for the prince?"

The emperor smiled slightly, "I am the candidate, maybe you can guess it." ”

The purple-robed man was silent for a while, and looked directly into the emperor's eyes, "But the King of Jinyang?"

When the emperor heard this, he praised it, "It is worthy of being a person who has worked for me for many years, and he will be right at a guess." ”

The expression on the purple-robed man's face immediately relaxed a lot, "It is precisely because the slaves have led the secret guards to run errands for the emperor over the years that they have the opportunity to feel the difference between the emperor and the king of Jinyang." ”

"Oh? "The emperor seems to be interested in this issue.

"Ten years ago, the emperor ordered his servants to invite the famous Tiemei master on the rivers and lakes, and ordered him to enter the palace to quietly teach the second prince martial arts. ”

"Three years ago, the emperor ordered the second prince to go out with the army, but secretly sent his servants to lead half of his subordinates to follow and secretly protect. ”

"A few months ago, the second prince led the soldiers and horses to protect the princess to a neighboring country and relatives, and the emperor ordered the servants to send secret guards to follow, and this time it was equivalent to a nest dispatch. Didn't the emperor do all this because he cared about the second prince and was bent on protecting him?"

The emperor remained silent and asked, "He is my emperor, isn't it reasonable that I am worried about him protecting him?"

The purple-robed man shook his head, "He is not the only prince, but apart from him, the servants can't see any other prince who can make the emperor pay so much attention to it, and repeatedly send personal guards to protect him." ”

The secret guard is equivalent to the emperor's life amulet, if he is not particularly concerned about someone, how can he send him the life amulet? Moreover, in the case of Concubine Zhuang, in order to help him solve the case, the emperor also ordered the secret guard to lend him the token to use.

Although the second prince, King Jinyang, did not know the specific situation of the secret guard, after all, he was the first person besides the emperor to know that the secret guard was real. This is equivalent to the fact that only the emperor can know, and he already knows half of it.

If it weren't for a different heart for him, the emperor would definitely not do this.

Not to mention the crown prince, the fief given to him is so rich, doesn't he just want him to live up to gold and silver, so that he can gain a firm foothold, or cultivate his own power?

The emperor also seemed to know that it was because of the internal guards sent to protect him that the purple-robed man could see his heart, and he didn't make much excuses at the moment, so he happily admitted, "You are right, and you understand it." He is indeed the son I care about the most, and he is also the one I have the most high hopes for. ”

Although the purple-robed man thought like this, but now that the emperor said it himself, he didn't understand a lot.

Three years ago, the emperor ordered the secret guards to follow secretly, and only instructed him to protect secretly, so King Jinyang never knew that he was in danger on the battlefield several times, and he was saved under the arrangement of the slave. ”

"But this time he sent an envoy to a neighboring country, why did the emperor order the secret guard to appear in front of the King of Jinyang when he set off?"

The emperor sighed softly, "No matter how much I expect from him, I am afraid that he will not be successful, so I sent him on the expedition back then, although it seems that I listened to the words of the courtiers, but I also want him to go out to practice." ”

"How can the weak in swaddling clothes be worthy of the great responsibility? In order to really let him get exercised and let him understand what it means to be a strong man who has experienced nine deaths and a lifetime, I have ordered you to follow him secretly, and as long as there is no worry about his life, I will not care about him. ”

"I didn't tell him, just to make him feel that no one was reliable except himself, and that only by himself could he come back alive, and only in this way could his potential be stimulated. ”

"And then his achievements are enough to prove that he is not a piece of mud, at least he is stronger than me, I am like his age, and I don't have his courage when I was my age. ”

"And this time, maybe I'm old and can't afford to bear the fear of day by day, for fear that something will happen to him, or maybe his potential doesn't need me to bother to stimulate anymore, he has already impressed me, and if I put the country in his hands, I feel at ease. ”

"That's why I don't want to take any more risks, and I don't want him to risk his life, so the Dark Guard showed up to explain everything to him when he set out, so that he could have a bottom in his heart and let him know that he was not fighting alone, and that he had a force to rely on in difficult times. In this way, he will not fight with his life anytime and anywhere. ”

"I have watched him grow from a seedling to the big tree he is today, and I will never allow anyone to cut down this big tree, and I want to do my best to shield him from some wind and rain when necessary, when I can still do it. ”

"Because sooner or later, he will have to face everything alone, even in a violent storm. At that time, there was no warmth, only loneliness, and now that I am still there, I want to give him more warmth, in my own way. ”

I only hope that one day in many years, when he thinks of me, not only resentment, but only hatred, and there can be a little warmth and nostalgia in his heart. ”

In the end, the emperor was a little depressed and sad, he knew that as a father of a child, he had not done enough.

The emperor's heartfelt words were not expected by the purple-robed man.

Although he saw that the emperor was different from King Jinyang and cared more about others than others, he didn't expect that the emperor's feelings for King Jinyang were so deep.

But since this is the case, why is he only secretly good to King Jinyang, and he never shows it on weekdays?

But if he shows a tenth of the goodness, King Jinyang will not be so neglected when he is young.

It's just that this kind of thing, if he rashly asks to understand, it's too inappropriate, after all, he's just a minion.

But if you don't ask, your curiosity is there, and that's uncomfortable.

The purple-robed man hesitated, curiosity prevailed, and hesitantly pondered the wording, "Since the emperor loves King Jinyang so much, how can it be...... How could it be ......"

"If you have anything to say, just say it, tonight, I came to this palace, first, to ask you for some news, and secondly, to find someone to talk to, so now you don't have to treat me as the emperor, and I don't treat you as a courtier and slave, you and I are like friends to talk to, what do you think?"

"How dare you be a slave, the king will always be the king, how dare the slave commit the next crime, and the slave will not dare to regard the emperor as a friend even if he dies. ”

"It is said that there are no rules, but sometimes, it is pedantic to be too obedient, and if you don't dare, you don't dare to stop, you can say it directly to me, don't have any worries, I won't cure your sin. ”

The purple-robed man waved his head, "The slave wants to say, Your Majesty, you obviously care about King Jinyang, why are you so different on the surface?"

"Do you think I've been too alienated and not close to him all these years? It seems that I don't have a preference for him, not only do I not like him, but I am extremely harsh, so that he does not enjoy the love of his father, but secretly cares for him so much, values him?"

"The emperor knows thousands of miles, and the slave is exactly what it means. The purple-robed man bowed his head.

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at the purple-robed man for a while before he said a few words, "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." ”

He believed that with the comprehension ability of the purple-robed man, he could understand it at all, and he didn't need to say too much at all, just these few words could explain Fang Cai's problem.

The purple-robed man groaned for a moment, and said, "The slave understands." ”

It seems that the emperor's alienation from King Jinyang is not because he doesn't like him, but because he loves him too much. Alienating him was a last resort, just a way to protect him.

Because the emperor is not an ordinary person, his words and deeds, every move, have attracted the attention of thousands of people, and can stir the hearts of thousands of people.

If he wins the emperor's favor, he will be jealous of many people at the same time, so he deliberately treats his favorite prince indifferently.

Who calls him an emperor? The slightest favor may kill a person, and it may lead to the death of the favored person.

If the emperor shows his preference for him, or intends to pass on the crown prince's position to him, the women in the harem must regard him as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and want to get rid of him quickly.

Because only then will those have a chance.
